Patent CA-2344856-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HORNBURG GERALD
IPC: C09K5/20
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: Liquid cooled systems having coolant circulation loops (136) must often operate in below freezing conditions. For instance, in various applications certain fuel cell systems (10) must be able to tolerate repeated shutdown an d storage in below freezing conditions. Conventional glycol-based coolants typically used for internal combustion engines are generally unsuitable for use in the associated fuel cell cooling subsystems due to the presence of additives and/or inhibitors which are normally included to deal with problem s relating to decomposition of the glycol. With additives or inhibitors presen t, the coolant conductivity can be sufficiently high as to result in electrical  shorting or corrosion problems. However, provided the purity of the coolant is maintained, a pure glycol and water coolant mixture may be used as a fuel ce ll system coolant to obtain suitable antifreeze protection. Adequate purity can  be maintained by including an ion exchange resin unit (158) in the cooling subsystem.

Title: Coupling device for providing a communications link for rf broadband data signals to a power line and method for installing same
Inventor: DIAMANTI PAOLO
IPC: H04B3/56
Filed: 2001-05-02
Abstract: A coupling device for providing a communications link for RF broadband data signals to a power line is disclosed. The coupling device comprises a high-pass filter element connected to the power line via a first port. The filter element allows RF broadband data signals to pass while low frequency signals are substantially attenuated. A second port connected to the high-pass filter element provides the RF broadband data signals to a RF broadband data signal line at a customer's premise. A drain coil connected to the high- pass filter element and connected to a ground provides grounding for low frequency signals but prevents the RF broadband data signals from being grounded. The second port and the drain coil are protected from power surges by a protective device connected in parallel to the drain coil. The coupling device is inexpensive to manufacture, essentially maintenance free, and easy to install. In a preferred embodiment such a coupling device is installable absent a step of disconnecting power to the power line which provides power to a customer's premise. Therefore, power supply to neighboring premises served by the same power line is not interrupted during installation.

Title: Conception de valves integrees amelioree pour chromatographe en phase gazeuse
Inventor: LECHNER-FISH TERESA
IPC: F16K11/24
Filed: 1999-10-14
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un chromatographe en phase gazeuse (600) à valves multiples (635, 655). Dans un mode de réalisation, ce chromatographe à phase gazeuse multivalve comprend de multiples valves, de multiples détecteurs de conductivité thermique (TCD) et un collecteur. Cet agencement permet la séparation et la mesure d'un échantillon de gaz dans une seule unité intégrée compacte. Cette unité est particulièrement préférable dès lors que les solénoïdes associés aux valves sont fixés directement sous le collecteur, ce qui élimine la nécessité de recourir à des tubages entre les solénoïdes et les valves. D'autres caractéristiques peuvent également être incluses. Par exemple, un bloc multivalve sans fuite peut comporter une première zone de température chauffant les valves et les détecteurs et une seconde zone de température chauffant les colonnes. On peut réaliser le bloc sans fuite en plaçant des vis de serrage au centre de chaque valve. Des zones d'introduction de gaz porteur peuvent être prévues dans le bloc multivalve pour améliorer les performances. Une meilleure séparation des zones de température entraînant des gains de performances accrus peut être obtenue grâce à l'utilisation à la fois d'un isolant thermique et d'une lame d'air. Des capteurs de température, placés dans la première zone de température, peuvent en outre être disposés en position idéale pour réduire au minimum les erreurs de mesure, entraînant ainsi des gains de performances encore supérieurs.

Title: Protein quantitation with cell imaging densitometry
Inventor: SMITH STEVEN JAY
IPC: G01N33/574
Filed: 1999-07-13
Abstract: A method for quantitating cellular proteins in tissue, by means of a cell imaging densitometer in conjunction with immunohistological staining and a reference standard, is provided. Unlike prior art methods, which provide ordinal measures of relative amounts of protein among different cells, the method enables the quantitation of antigenic proteins in terms of absolute mass of protein/tumor or protein/patient, molecules of protein per cell, and volume or fraction of a tissue sample expressing the protein of interest. The method is useful for research purposes in the study of protein expression, and is shown to improve the accuracy of clinical histopathological analysis of tumor tissue sections for diagnosis and prognosis. Potentially useful for prescribing in situ treatment dosages. The demonstrated resulting improvement in the correlation between tissue levels and blood levels of tumor-associated proteins should facilitate minimally invasive monitoring of cancer progression and therapeutic response.

Patent CA-2355242-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JETZEK ULRICH
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1999-12-17
Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for estimating inter-frequency measurements used for radio network functions are disclosed. The systems and methods described allow systems to evaluate the quality of a second frequency by using offset adjusted measurements on a first frequency. By using the described methods, system capacity is increased by providing a "low cost" measurement mechanism for support of handover that substantially balance the load between two or more frequency bands. By using the proposed method, handover can be performed more frequently and the interference within each frequency band can therefore be kept at a more optimal level.

Title: Soil-resistant coating for glass surfaces
Inventor: HARTIG KLAUS
IPC: C23C14/06
Filed: 1999-02-02
Abstract: A glass article which has a water-sheeting coating and a method of applying coatings to opposed sides of a substrate are described. In one embodiment, a water-sheeting coating (20) comprising silica is sputtered directly onto an exterior surface of the glass. The exterior face of this water-sheeting coating is substantially non-porous but has an irregular surface. This water-sheeting coating causes water applied to the coated surface to sheet making the glass article easier to clean and helping the glass stay clean longer. In one method of the invention, interior and exterior surfaces of a glass sheet are cleaned.  Thereafter, the interior surface of the sheet of glass is coated with a reflective coating by sputtering, in sequence, at least one dielectric layer, at least one metal layer, and at least one dielectric layer. The exterior surface of the glass is coated with a water-sheeting coating by sputtering silica directly onto the exterior surface of the sheet of glass. If so desired, both the interior surface and the exterior surface can be applied during the same pass through the same sputter coating apparatus while the glass maintains a constant orientation wherein the interior surface is positioned above the exterior surface.

Title: Synergistic effects of amlodipine and atorvastatin metabolite as a basis for combination therapy
Inventor: MASON R PRESTON
IPC: A61P9/10
Filed: 2000-04-18
Abstract: The combination of amlodipine with either atorvastatin or atorvastatin metabolite shows a synergistic antioxidant effect on lipid peroxidation in human low-density lipoproteins and membrane vesicles enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids. Inhibition of oxy-radical damage by this drug combination was observed at therapeutic levels in a manner that could not be  reproduced by the combination of amlodipine with other statins or the natura l antioxidant, vitamin E. The basis for this potent activity is attributed to the chemical structures of these compounds and their molecular interactions with phospholipid molecules, as determined by x-ray diffraction analyses. Th is combination therapy can be used to treat cardiovascular disorders, especiall y coronary artery disease, by increasing the resistance of low-density lipoproteins and vascular cell membranes against oxidative modification.</SD OAB>

Inventor: ZIMMERMANN BRUNO
IPC: G01J3/52
Filed: 2002-03-11
Abstract: For a process for the production of a color pallet including a multitude of color patterns for a predetermined coloring process operating with a multitude of defined base colors and for a predetermined substrate, the individual color patterns are systematically, especially equidistantly, defined in a mathematically defined color space by the way of color coordinates describing the color space. The spectrum of the color pattern is synthesized by calculation for each color pattern in the color space by way of a color mixing model representing the predetermined coloring process and the predetermined substrate, whereby that spectrum is selected which has the highest color constancy. The spectra synthesized by calculation are stored in relation to the color coordinates of the underlying color patterns. The process allows the production of a color pallet which has a mathematical/physical basis (CIE-system). This allows the definition in a simple manner of a visually equidistant color space and to assign a spectral curve to individual points which has the best color constancy.
